5 HOURS AGO! Princess Anne Delivers Heartbreaking News: A Royal Family Member Has Passed Away — Meghan and Harry Rush Back to the Palace Overnight: “It is with sadness… that person is…” SEE MORE BELOW ⤵️

In a shocking and sorrowful turn of events, Buckingham Palace has been plunged into mourning after Princess Anne delivered a somber announcement early this morning. At approximately 6:00 a.m. UK time, the Princess Royal confirmed the passing of a beloved member of the royal family — news that has left the nation reeling and the royal household in deep grief.

> “It is with great sadness that I share the passing of someone very dear to our family and to the country,” Princess Anne stated in a brief but emotional message. “Their dedication, kindness, and unwavering sense of duty will be remembered forever.”

While full details are still emerging, palace sources say the loss came unexpectedly overnight, prompting an urgent flurry of calls and private arrangements. Almost immediately, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — currently residing in California — boarded a late-night flight to London. They are believed to have arrived at Heathrow under heavy security just before dawn, rushing directly to the palace to be with the family.

The news has sparked a wave of condolences from political leaders, celebrities, and citizens alike. Flags have been lowered to half-mast across government buildings, and royal watchers have gathered outside Buckingham Palace, leaving flowers, candles, and handwritten tributes.

The identity of the late royal has not yet been formally disclosed, but insiders hint at a deeply personal connection to Princess Anne, suggesting this is a loss that will be felt not only within the royal household but across the Commonwealth.

For the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the timing marks a rare and poignant reunion with senior royals amid ongoing tensions. Observers note that such moments of tragedy often bring fractured families together — if only briefly — and this loss may serve as a bittersweet reminder of the bonds that remain.

The palace is expected to release an official statement later today, followed by funeral arrangements in the coming days. The atmosphere in London is heavy with grief, but also gratitude for the life and service of the departed royal.

As Princess Anne concluded in her message:

> “We will hold their memory close to our hearts, and carry forward their legacy with pride.”
